Faraday Future Unveils 1000HP Concept Car, Investing $1 Billion On EV Facility

In fact, the manufacturer based the FFZero1 on a modular engineering system optimized for electric vehicles called Variable Platform Architecture, or VPA, a system that will underlie any future production model by the maker.

Faraday has said that its production cars will offer unprecedented connectivity. “At FF we believe with every bone in our body that the world is ready for a new way of looking at mobility”.

Despite this, interested customers will have to wait, with the first units not expected to be available until 2017 at the earliest. To be said that the FFZERO1 comes with some interesting features, for example, the seating is made for zero gravity situations, for some specific reasons.

Let’s start with the actual concept auto and then talk about the concept behind the company.

Faraday Future has focused on the aerodynamics, which is why the rather futuristic design lines.

Well, it will project augmented reality visuals on the road ahead.

The Faraday Future prototype has been revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show. (SOUNDBITE) NICK SAMPSON, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF R&D AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, FARADAY FUTURE (ENGLISH) SAYING: “In the past 18 months, we’ve assembled an extraordinary group of people, more than 550 talented individuals and plus 200 more globally”. To do that, Faraday Future will invest $1 billion to build a 900-acre production plant in North Las Vegas, Nevada, just a seven-hour drive from Tesla’s Gigafactory.

“Tesla and Elon Musk have created something incredible and we should all applaud them for it, the first mass-market electric vehicle”, Sampson said, adding that his former employer had created a superb driving experience and built a loyal customer base. The company’s almost 500 employees in California have backgrounds spanning the energy, aerospace, design, automotive and technology industries.

This means the platform could be used for hatchbacks and saloons (see 1:10 in the YouTube video after these very words for a hint at something more family-friendly) and not just the racey number seen above.
